Program Elements

Plenaries

Join us in the Maryland Ballroom every day for our mainstage sessions. Network with other attendees over breakfast or lunch and then tune in to high-profile speakers and intriguing dialogues about the most pressing issues facing our community.

Clinics

The Prosperity Summit kicks off this year a range of clinics that build your capacity to advocate, deliver more services, reach new people in your community and more! Clinics are three-hour, in-depth learning opportunities or trainings that will be held on the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 5, before the first plenary. 

Concurrent Sessions

The Summit will offer over four dozen breakout sessions over four blocks designed to introduce you to new ideas, help you develop new skills and deepen your understanding of the issues critical to your work. We develop the Prosperity Summit agenda based on input from you, collected through surveys from previous events and a special pre-Summit survey fielded at the end of 2017. Generally, sessions blend issues related to public policy, private markets and/or community practice. Based on your feedback, Summit sessions will cover, among other topics, the following:

  • Consumer Protections
  • Data & Insights
  • Emerging Trends
  • Financial Capability
  • Housing & Homeownership
  • Improve Your Program
  • Jobs & Income
  • Policy & Advocacy
  • Population-Based Strategies
  • Racial Wealth Equity
  • Savings
  • Taxes


Capitol Hill Advocacy Visits

As someone working to build opportunity among the communities you serve, you have an important voice that federal policymakers should and will listen to. On Thursday afternoon of the Summit, you will have an opportunity to use that voice when you head to Capitol Hill to educate policymakers on the work happening on the ground to strengthen financial health, and the critical role federal policy can play in promoting financial security for all. Confirm your participation during the Summit attendee registration process.

Reception & Lightning Talks

Back by popular demand, our Wednesday evening reception is the place to mix and mingle with each other and with our awesome Summit Exhibitors at this D.C. street fair-themed reception featuring local dishes and signature drinks. This year, Prosperity Now is also hosting a series of Lightning Talks—eight-minute presentations that allow speakers to share exciting ideas in a short space of time. The Lightning Talks will be featured on a special Reception Mainstage during the Reception.



Networking Opportunities & Special Events

As with every conference, there are many ways outside of our core agenda to connect with other attendees and our partners. Start your day catching up with colleagues during the networking breakfasts prior to the morning plenaries, take a breather in our Network Lounge and learn about how to get involved in Prosperity Now's Community, and end the day Thursday watching Black Panther on the big screen overlooking the Potomac River. Click on the link above to learn about more of our ancillary events. Are you hosting an event during the Prosperity Summit that is open to all attendees? Email summit@prosperitynow.org and we will add it to the list!
